The rumor mill is in full motion surrounding the third installment of Capcom’s Dead Rising series with minor details brought to light.

Rumblings suggest that Dead Rising 3 will have a change of scenery, this time trapping players in a chaotic Californian town sectioned off by the government thanks to a pesky zombie outbreak inconveniently killing folks left and right.

Controlling a mechanic named Rick (no, I guess Capcom doesn’t know what The Walking Dead is), you set about on a quest to build the perfect getaway plane while improving your knack for creatively macabre, DIY dismemberment along the way.  Dead Rising 3 also intends to tackle themes of illegal immigration (specifically, a cadre of still living infected that are dodging government registration) and the old Capcom standby: corporate conspiracy.

He must suck to drink with: Not a single one of your best lays will ever beat the “angel tang” story.

“I wonder if he’ll want testicles.  No, wait.  I’ll just program him not to.”

Was apparently written by Dai Sato, the guy who penned Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell and Samurai Champloo’s scripts.  Based on those anime, I’m of the opinion that this story is going to be pretty damn good.  :)  Not only that, but Sato’s apparently a longtime fan of RE.  :D

Hope he gets the canon right! (I’m sure he will.)  And more Chris and Jill moments, plz?

More than any other trailer, this footage sold me on Ninja Theory’s direction.  To be honest, the plot lines of previous games were muddled, unfocused messes that denied me from connecting with any of the characters.  It seemed the stories were just stages to display Dante’s over-the-top hack n’ slashing and his ten foot middle finger of an attitude.

I know there’s much resistance in the gaming...
